The Fire TV Stick is an okay device for what it does. I picked one up when they were on sale because when I didn't have cable, I used the Amazon season passes to keep up on my TV. I thought it would be nice to have a device that was centered around Amazon since I was using Amazon for much. At first I liked that it was easy to get to my shows. But the more shows I added & the more apps I added, the more cluttered it got. The home screen was already a little overwhelming to navigate, but it just got worse the more I used it. It's just not very user friendly. I also had problems with apps not wanting to work right when they worked perfectly fine on other devices. It made me feel like Amazon really only cared about their movies & streams working well. Which is fine if that's all the want to do, but when I bought the device I wanted something that would let me run all of my apps. In the end it was just too annoying to navigate & had too many problems with streaming that I gave up & went back to Roku.

I love my fire TV stick! I have the original non-voice remote model but use the app for voice control when I desire. I love the variety of apps you can use with the Tv Stick- netflix, hulu, Hbo go, BeachBody on Demand (gotta get those workouts in!), Fox Sports, NBC Sports (Streamed Olympics anyone??!), ESPN, and of course all of your Amazon Prime content.

I haven't had cable since 2012 and for years used my blu ray player to stream content but haven't used that since I got my Fire Tv Stick. With the addition of a small power cord with transformer (to provide consistent power to the stick), I can plug it directly into my TV and hide all the cords. It makes for a very clean look as I have my TV wall mounted. I loved my first one so much I now have one for my other TV. Best part... Super portable! If you go on vacation or to a friends house and want to bring your shows... grab and go! It is only the size of a pack of gum.

I bought one of these even though I already have a smartTV with a dedicated Amazon button. I have two, actually. It's very simple to set up if you have a prime account because it's already registered to your account. If you're not getting it for yourself then select the gift option so the person getting the gift doesn't have to have your password or buy things on your account.

My biggest complaints are that Alexa doesn't know much and that there isn't much memory on it. I would like to see the option to expand memory or get a larger memory built in.

Cut that cable cord! We purchased the bundle Amazon offered of a antenna with the cable along with the Fire TV. Both work wonderfully. I thought for sure, with our luck, we'd have problems setting them up but it took about 15 minutes. The Amazon antenna gets us local stations and more in crystal clear HD. Love the Fire TV. We did get a Sling TV subscription. The things available are endless. Everything loads fast; no lag time. The remote has little on it as you don't need it. Just using the voice features gets the results you want. Highly recommend.

After giving up my cable, I decided to buy an Amazon Fire Tv Stick. It was a great choice for someone on a budget and who has Amazon Prime ( that was a bonus!) They have a large selection of movies and videos to watch. The unit also allows for your television to be an instant smart tv. So, you have access to Netflix, Hulu and many other apps. Setup was easy and if there are any issues, the service team is quick to respond and help. I would recommend this for anyone. The cost is low and the quality terrific.

I feel that you can't go wrong with a Fire Stick. This allows you to stream directly through your tv. You have the ability to download apps & stream different music, movies & shows. It does require an Internet connection, an HDMI port, and a power outlet. It comes with a remote to control the fire stick interface and browse. Most apps or videos are free, but do require that you have subscriptions already (such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, and Amazon Prime Videos).

I was skeptical about the fire stick , after talking to a few of my close friend who have one we broke down and purchased one! WE LOVE IT!!! the best purchase we've made when it's come to electronics. I wish this was around when I was younger my parents could of saved a lot of time and money by having one. There's so many programs you can have uploaded to the software and you can stream great shows ! Thanks amazon for making a wonderful item .

I actually love my fire sticks, I have 2 the regular one and the one with voice command.... I never use the voice command so I suggest just getting the regular one. I unlocked mines so I can literally watch everything for FREEEEE 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾👌🏾 still working on the live TV but I'm getting there. I recommend this 100% buy it then unlock it or buy it from someone selling them unlocked. If not you'll be pretty much paying for EVERYTHING 😡✋🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

I love my Amazon Fire Stick, I have had for about 3 years now. And I don't know what I would do without it, it has all of my tv apps since I don't have an Smart TV this is how I watch Netflix and Hulu. I have the one without the voice remote, but I downloaded the app on my phone and tablet and it works just fine. Again I love love love my Fire Stick, I would recommend this for anyone who does not have one to get it!!!!!!!!!!

I love my fire stick. I used my ps and wifi systems prior to buying the fire stick. Work much faster, access my Netflix an prime with ease. Easy to set up and use. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys watching tv through different forms other than cable. Also access to YouTube and games which is cool. I never have nothing to watch. Small ins plugs into back of tv and the remote is small.

Find someone that can load KODI onto it and you will have a media streamer that never costs a penny and Always updates every few hours, and EVERY single movie and tv show is on Kodi. I make them for friends all the time. It just takes a little computer knowledge is all.

I have both and I actually prefer the Fire Stick. I think that the user interface on the Fire Stick is much better than the Chromecast and is more intuitive. I don't need to worry about my phone and/or the device not picking up wifi like I do with the Chromecast too.
